A drug smuggler who has been arrested following several others arrests, including in Indonesia has said that QF based SYD baggage handlers had been payed thousands of dollars by drug smugglers. He said drug smugglers used QF employees to get the drugs passed Australian Customs.

This is nothing new in the business. That's how most drugs het smuggled through airports... by way of baggage handlers and also Service Agents.
A few years ago some strange man approached me on my lunch brake at the airport in AUA and asked me if I would be interested to check-in one piece of luggage containing an undisclosed amount of cocaine to AMS (under someone elses name). He offered a significant amount of money to do so, but I refused.
I am too afraid of prison, and no amount of money is worth ruining your life for!
I know enough agents/baggage handlers who did it and openly told me so and I know of those who were caught, arrested and prosecuted. They will never (I think) work at the airport for any airline again.
Definitely not worth it!

QF have said that drugs arrived in Australia, the same day that the Australian model was flying to Bali and are not rulling out QF employees put the drugs in her bag. Sounds like the models prayers are being answered.
